Standard Authentic Assessment
An assessment task, problem, or project is authentic if it:
1. Is realistic.
2. Requires judgement and innovation.
3. Asks the student to “do” the subject.
4. Replicates or stimulates the contexts in which adults are “tested” in the workplace,
in civil life, and in personal life.
5. Assesses the student’s ability to efficiently and effectively use a repertoire of
knowledge and skill to negotiate a complex task.
6. Allows appropriate opportunities to rehearse, practice, consult resources, and get
feedback on and refine performances and products.
Educational researcher Fred Newmann and his colleagues at the University of
Wisconsin have developed a similar set of standards for judging the authenticity of tasks in
assessments and instructional work.
